If you open the Event Viewer, the Microsoft-Windows-DeviceSetupManager\/Admin<\/code> event log may have hundreds of DeviceSetupManager (Event ID: 131) entries. The entries contain the following data:<\/p>\n

Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container '{GUID}'<\/pre>\n
(or)<\/p>\n
Metadata staging failed, result=0x800704D9 for container '{GUID}'<\/pre>\n
\"devicesetupmanager<\/p>\n
The above events are generated by the Device Setup Manager (DsmSvc) service, which enables the detection, download, and installation of device-related software.<\/p>\n
Cause<\/h2>\n
Error 0x80070490 means “ERROR_NOT_FOUND” and the error code 0x800704D9 means “ERROR_INCORRECT_ADDRESS”.\u00a0These errors occur because the device metadata URL is broken. The device metadata URL is specified in the following registry key:<\/p>\n
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Device Metadata<\/pre>\n
In the above key, a value named “DeviceMetadataServiceURL” stores the metadata URL, which is below:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?LinkID=2257403&clcid=0x409<\/pre>\n
The above URL is supposed to redirect to the current device metadata URL, which is as follows:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com\/dms\/metadata.svc<\/pre>\n
As the above metadata URLs are inaccessible, the “Metadata staging failed” events are reported in the Windows Event log.<\/p>\n
Workaround<\/h2>\n
To workaround the issue, turn off the automatic driver metadata download option.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Launch sysdm.cpl<\/strong> via the Run dialog (Win + R)<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the Hardware tab.<\/li>\n
  3. Click “Device installation settings.”<\/li>\n
  4. Click “No (your device might not work as expected).”\"device<\/li>\n
  5. Click Save Changes, and click OK.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    This should stop the DeviceSetupManager log entries from appearing in the Event Viewer.<\/p>\n
    Use the above workaround until Microsoft fixes its device metadata URL.<\/p>\n
    \nSetting the above option to “No” sets the PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork<\/strong><\/code> registry value to 1<\/strong> in the following key:<\/p>\n
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Device Metadata<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
    Note:<\/strong> The above option determines whether Windows downloads manufacturer’s apps and custom icons (metadata) for your devices. A device metadata package consists of a device icon and multiple XML documents, and each document specifies various components of the device’s attributes. Devices and Printers displays device-specific information to the user based on the XML documents from the device’s metadata package. For more information about device metadata packages, please see Overview of Device Metadata Packages – Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn<\/a>.<\/p>\n
    Some users say that setting the above option to “No” blocks automatic driver updates via Windows Update. However, when I tested, the drivers updates installed as usual.<\/p>\n
    \"windows<\/p>\n
    Regardless, manual driver updates will work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
